I was stationed in Korea twice and eat their cuisine every chance I get.

Twice, wow. I found one Korean restaurant on Staten Island listed. The gal and I will go try it out.

Alittle ditty I wrote in praise of Korean Cuisine:

Bibimbop (c 2003 LTOS)

I was visiting Korea
When i stopped to eat, in Seoul
I was served some pickled vegetables
arranged neatly in a bowl
Like the moon over a rice field
An egg was sitting up on top
Some meat, some rice, some hot sauce
They call it Bibimbop

Don’t leave the Barbequed meat on the side
Take it and the rice along for the ride
Don’t leave the chili sauce sittin’ on top
Mix it down into your Bibimbop

Bop Bop, Bibimbop
Bop, Bop, Bibimbop
Don’t leave the chili sauce sittin’ on top
Mix it down into your Bibimbop.

If you pick at it with chopsticks
You’ll be sitting here till noon
So mix it all together
And eat it with a spoon!
Once you get a taste of it,
you’ll never want to stop
Don’t mess with tradition
When you eat your Bibimbop!

Don’t leave the Barbequed meat on the side
Take it and the rice along for the ride
Don’t leave the chili sauce sittin’ on top
Mix it down into your Bibimbop

Bop Bop, Bibimbop
Bop, Bop, Bibimbop
Don’t leave the chili sauce sittin’ on top
Mix it down into your Bibimbop.

I love that they serve their food in heat retaining bowls and plates. But I do feel sorry for whoever has to wash the dishes, because there are many little side dishes to wash.

I traditionally have my birthday dinner in a Korean restaurant. I like to be able to cook the meat in the individual table-side grills.

I think Korea has changed tremendously, because it is growing more prosperous by the day. Even in older Korean dramas, the amenities and signs of wealth so more impressive now.
